Ghana was an early beneficiary of media, journalism, and communication infrastructure in Africa. The country emerged out of colonialism as the first black African country south of the Sahara to achieve political independence in 1957. Its infrastructure, while it could not be equated to that of the developed world, provided the basis for the growth of a vibrant media sector. Contemporary issues and debates about media systems in Ghana, therefore, draw on both past and present experiences and practices
